I wonder sometimes what is our fashion,movie and music industry turning into. All celebrity and model want to go naked on red carpet or runway.
In Paris on Thursday, fashion designer Rick Owens gave audiences quite a show when he sent male models down the runway wearing clothes with peepholes that offered a glimpse of the guys' formerly private parts.

"Nudity is the most simple and primal gesture -- it packs a punch," Owens said of
his decision to have his models bare all. "It's powerful. ... Who else
can really get away with this stuff? It's a corporate world!"
The looks were simply for shock and awe
and the attention such reactions generate -- after all, they can't be
worn out in public and won't be sold in stores. But let's be honest:
Were we even shocked? After all, female models have been asked to sashay
down runways in states of near nakedness for years.
Meanwhile, more and more films
are featuring full frontal male nudity. There was Michael Fassbender in
"Shame," of course. And who can forget the uproar over the cameo of Ben
Affleck's penis in "Gone Girl," albeit so brief one had to know the
precise moment to look for it? And if we've seen Ben Affleck's penis,
who cares about some male model's? . Itslike going naked is the order of the day in nowadays television... Its like the notion in the entertainment industry is ''go naked or die trying to be a star''.
More likely, it's a clear sign that we're a culture so overexposed that
we've got no other choice but to up the stakes at every turn. We are
becoming -- have become -- immune to that which was previously
surprising/revolting/ awe-inspiring. It's amazing how quickly Lady Gaga
went from outre to passe, isn't it? Meanwhile, Madonna is a faint
middle-aged voice from the past who in a time long ago made news with
pointy bras -- positively puritanical compared to the starlets of today.
The trend is growing so fast, from miley cyrus to the kardashian sisters to lady gaga and so many more...The big question is what is the fate of the next generation?
